About Anthonie Waterloo

Anthonie Waterloo (baptized 6 May 1609, Lille — buried 23 October 1690, Utrecht) was a Dutch Golden Age landscape painter, etcher, draughtsman, and art dealer. Born in Lille in the Spanish Netherlands, he settled in the Dutch Republic and became one of the most prolific landscape printmakers of the seventeenth century. Waterloo is best known for his etched views of wooded countryside, rolling terrain, and rural travel scenes, many drawn on location during journeys in the 1650s and 1660s. He also produced paintings and chalk drawings, though his printed oeuvre is far more widely represented in collections and on the market. His etchings circulated broadly during his lifetime and influenced later landscape artists across Northern Europe.

Common works and media

Collectors most frequently encounter Waterloo's landscape etchings, which depict wooded glades, country roads, travelers on paths, and panoramic rural vistas. He also produced chalk and wash drawings of similar landscape subjects, along with a smaller number of oil paintings. His prints range from small-format plates to larger panoramic views. Edition quality and state (early versus later impressions) are important considerations for collectors evaluating Waterloo etchings.

Market and appraisal context

Anthonie Waterloo's market is anchored by his prolific output of landscape etchings, which dominate the auction record. Appraisily's auction-record index tracks 145 lots spanning from April 2001 to May 2026, with 77 carrying a realized price. The price distribution is heavily right-skewed: the median sits at €200 and the 25th percentile at €120, reflecting that standard etchings in good but not exceptional condition trade in the low hundreds of euros. The 75th percentile at €1,600 and the recorded maximum of €27,500 capture the premium tier—likely paintings, rare original drawings, or exceptional early-state impressions at major houses. Liquidity is steady, with 15 priced lots in the most recent 12 months and 18 in the prior period. The artist appears regularly at both top-tier international houses (Christie's, Sotheby's, Swann Auction Galleries) and specialist regional firms (Old Master Print, Schmidt Kunstauktionen Dresden, Fichter Kunsthandel, Venduehuis der Notarissen, Veilinghuis Onder de Boompjes, Veilinghuis Van Spengen), indicating a broad European and North American collector base for Dutch Old Master prints.

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains no major auction-house results; specific price ranges and recent sale records are not available from the collected sources
  • Some sources list the birth year as 1610 rather than 1609; auction catalogues may vary in which date they use
  • Recorded prices span multiple currencies (EUR, GBP, USD, CZK); direct comparison requires currency normalization at the sale date.
  • Roughly half of the tracked lots (68 of 145) have no recorded price realized, indicating unsold lots, withdrawn lots, or post-sale private treaties; the priced-lot distribution may be biased toward successful sales.
